Still relevant today. Having to jump between WHMCS and another tool just to understand profitability feels unnecessary. https://www.wollongongtimberflooring.com/

Tracking expenses directly helps me stay profitable while scaling my https://brisbaneconcretedriveways.au business.

It is a frustration felt by almost every hosting provider. You have all your customer revenue, invoice data, and automation living inside WHMCS, so it feels completely natural to want to input your server costs, domain registry wholesale fees, and cPanel/Plesk license renewals right next to it to see a true bottom-line balance.

I have been using https://www.hailuo3.app for AI video generation and found it surprisingly capable for text-to-video tasks. Worth checking out for anyone interested in AI tools.

I second this. On a related note, Trellis2 at https://www.trellis2.art has been super useful for my AI 3D workflow. (1778661711833)

Useful feature request. We track expenses manually at https://www.hairstyleanalysis.org/ and having this built in would save time.

We are longtime users of WHMCS and appreciate its comprehensive suite of features for billing, automation, and support management. However, we’ve been relying on third-party tools like Perfex CRM to bridge one critical gap: tracking sales against internal purchase/expense entries.

Here’s a brief overview of our current workflow and the feature we would like to request:

1. Sales Orders to Purchase Entry Mapping

Whenever a customer places an order in WHMCS, we manually create a corresponding purchase/expense entry in another system (e.g., Perfex CRM) to track costs associated with fulfilling that order. It would be extremely helpful if WHMCS natively supported this functionality—automatically logging a purchase/expense entry linked to the sales invoice or order.

2. Recurring Invoice Tracking for Renewals

For services like hosting and managed servers, we generate recurring invoices. It would be beneficial if WHMCS could also track these renewals as recurring purchase entries, making it easy to monitor both revenue and associated internal costs for each renewal cycle.

3. Employee Hours and Support Ticket Cost Analysis

Currently, WHMCS lacks visibility into internal task allocations—specifically:
• Which staff handled a support ticket
• How much time was spent
• How many hours are billed internally per task or service

We manage this through external CRMs, but a built-in option in WHMCS to log working hours per employee per ticket, and associate those hours with internal cost estimations, would bring immense operational clarity and reduce our dependency on third-party platforms.

⸻

Proposed Feature Summary:
• Ability to create “Purchase Entry” records linked to client orders/invoices
• Support for both one-time and recurring (monthly/yearly) purchase entries
• Internal staff time tracking on support tickets, linked to billing or cost metrics
• Optional reporting module to compare sales vs internal cost (margin analysis)

This feature would make WHMCS a complete end-to-end solution for companies like ours, eliminating the need to duplicate records in other CRMs just for cost tracking.

We hope you’ll consider this enhancement in a future update. We’d be happy to discuss this in more detail if needed.

When the company starts to grow, it starts to have many customers, many employees, the complexity of management also increases.
It is extremely necessary to have management aligned with reality.

WHCMS is really good for managing recurring revenue, but unfortunately it lacks some basic business management aspects.
This is certainly one of these basic aspects.

Having a cash flow, for example, is essential to be able to make more accurate projections.
